2025 was my anniversary of 15 years of blogging
and relatively uneventful.
We didn't have an abundance of snow....less than 2 inches.
The average winter temperature was 29 degrees.
Mostly deer tracks...
The deer forage for corn and apples that are left for them.
Springs' average temperature was 65 degrees..
Our rainfall amounted to a little over five inches..wetter than average.
That was good as we have been pretty dry this year..
The Finches left the flowers on this Cherry tree for almost three days.
I have been here fourteen years and have never before seen this tree
in full bloom.
The blossoms are stripped as they bloom. Normally there would be a carpet of white under this tree by now.
We start to see "Little Bambis "here and there.
The defroster is removed from the birdbath.
The Bluebirds have been here all winter.
Birds begin to fill the birdhouses with nesting materials.
Especially the Wrens...
It's time for a six month service..
It's nice that they come to you!!
Zoey had company for a couple of days
while our neighbor was in the hospital.
This is Becky.
This is very hard for me emotionally because Becky looks exactly
like my Mollie who I lost 2 years ago..If not for the red collar, I
would not know the difference in the picture..Becky is a little smaller.
This is Mollie..
This is Becky.
The landscaping crew had its hands full keeping up with it all.
Then came the leaves!!
In late August, I started thinking about selling my car and did so in November...There's a blog post about that.
Shortly after selling my car, I decided to get this little scooter so I could run around the neighborhood and "keep in touch."
Since these pictures were taken, it has gotten mirrors.
Another frequent activity here is the cutting and/or removal of trees.
Our trees are old and big and some are in sad shape.
The trees that were removed here were both sick and "dirty".
Not good for patios and hot tub use.
Zoey and I wish you all the happiest of New Years
and look forward to connecting with you in 2026!
